The 6 inch display curves in at the center, allowing the ends to taper out. While the screen will curve, it will not be malleable. The curve will allow the phone to wrap around your face when you are making phone calls. A sketch of the phone can be seen below. While our story this morning mentioned that the device could be introduced as soon as next week, the latest report calls for a November unveiling of the LG G Flex. Sorry to throw a curveball at your plans.

Somebody shot me now please! A six inch banana phone? Why?!? First the phone is way to big at 6 inches, then it is curved to make it stick out in your pocket more. This has no functional use. Don't say it curves with your face, because who actually puts a phone directly on there face? Flexible displays are cool but has no functional use on a phone.

I agree with everything you said plus when its in ur pocket and sit down ull prolly crack the screen... I try to keep the phone as far away from my face as possible with all the radiation these things pump out!

I don't think their intention is to make this phone their flagship device. As you mentioned, maybe LG is just trying to get some cool factor under their skin.

Anyway, this is what companies like LG, Samsung, and Apple do. They innovate and try to create new demands so they could keep on making money. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes, it doesn't.

People should be more open-minded and should embrace these technological changes. We, consumers, only benefit from these innovations. They give us more choices, price advantages, and functionality. So, if you don't like it, you simply just need to walk away and look for something that suits you more.

In terms of TVs, I have no idea what you mean by we are going backwards. TVs in the past were not curved inwards, they were curved outwards (in other words, TVs of the past were convex and today they are going towards concave). It gives everyone in the room no matter what position they are in to see the same screen size. The problem with flat screen TVs is you had to put your furniture directly in front of it to maximize viewing pleasure. Whenever you sit at an angle to the TV, it just doesn't feel the same. So, in order to get around this, by having a concave screen you are able to sit at an angle to the screen and still watch it as if you were looking at it head on.

The advantages of this device are the same. If you are watching a video with your friends, they don't have to have their face in the same area as you (in other words, they don't have to look at the device head on). it will probably also be somewhat better for glares on the screen depending on how they angle it. Finally, I would say it would be somewhat more comfortable to use. People use to rave about the Nexus S being so comfortable to use because of it's curved screen. Typing in landscape was much more comfortable and some people even preferred it over the portrait keyboard.

So, why haven't we looked at the Nexus S as a reason to possibly look into curved screens?

6 inch curved display with snapdragon 800? oh my god there is something new everyday, and i am changing my mind more often than i am changing my socks... if i'd like to buy a phone it will be old as in terms of technology in 2 weeks, in better case month or two
